The [[Ukrainian Orthodox Church]] is marginalized by the [[liberal]] government of Ukraine, but has its strongest cultural presence in Kyiv. (The schismatic Kiev Patriarchate declared its independence from the Moscow Patriarchate in 2019 and remains unrecognized among [[Orthodox]] churches.) Kiev was called "Jerusalem of the East" prior to the fascist coup in 2014. It owns many churches and cathedrals like the St. Sophia's Cathedral, the Vydubychi Monastery, the St. Nicolas Prytysko Church, the St. Nicholas’ Church, the St. Andrew's Church, the Church of the Savior of the Berestovo and the All Saints’ Church,<ref>http://kiev.com/kiev/view/kiev-and-the-orthodox-church</ref> however the pro-[[gay rights]] [[Zelensky regime]] forcibly seized church property.
